I prefer Gold, but I don’t dislike Hook. I just feel like I don’t know enough about Hook to really make a comparison. I hate the idea of taking out his revenge fantasies on Belle, so right now, one vote for Gold. (Could I give half a vote to Hook?)
[adrotate group="5"]What I don’t understand is what is it that Bae would have been working to avoid his whole life? Magic? The Prophecy? If it is magic, that’s not really something he would have run from “his whole life”. And if it’s the prophecy, how does seeing Rumple bring this all back to the fore? I understand he would be mad at Rumple, and may not really want to talk to him and/or see him, but Rumple in and of himself wouldn’t be something he would have “worked so hard to avoid for his entire life”. Aaaah, the suspense!
I took the FairyPuncher status out of my sig after I thought the character would be killed off. Should I put it back and make it a real board-thing?
Idk, I can see it. A lot of people’s hair gets darker as they go through puberty, and the eyes and nose are the same.
Ok, see but the problem I have with the magic = evil thing is this–where does that leave Emma? She has magic that is part of her. She didn’t ask for it, didn’t pursue it, she simply was born that way (reference intentional).
Wouldn’t it be better for her to control it than to let it act on its own? In the fight against Cora/Regina/etc, wouldn’t it be better for her to use this powerful tool against them? After all, Emma’s magic comes from true love, which is the cure for curses–can true love corrupt? Can something resulting from true love be evil by nature?
“Murder is a bad first impression.” Emma. There are also plenty more that I can’t think of right now.
Spinning–fairy dust did save Philip from being the Yaoguai, saved Regina from execution, and generally has a good “image.” The show seems to differentiate between the two types of magic, and we have no evidence (except a “dark fairy” I saw mentioned somewhere) of fairies being evil by nature, or consistently doing evil things. We don’t know enough about the “rules” of fairy magic (are they born with it? how is the fairy dust processed?).
Obisgirl: That’s been my theory, but still, there seems to be a pattern on this show: Regina “discovered” magic, she went bad; Cora likely discovered magic, she went bad; Rumple acquired magic, and he went bad. We don’t have anyone learning magic who didn’t go bad. And none of the three just mentioned had any sort of disposition towards evil as far as we can tell. I get that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but is that the case here? No one’s power is absolute. I mean, all three took advantage of the power for their own purposes (getting back at Mom, finally not being a coward/outcast) and we could argue all day why Rumple went from trying to save his son to killing people because he felt like it, but without magic coming into their lives, Regina would have run away from home and Rumple would have lived out a quiet life (whether with or without Bae, we’ll know). I guess the question is, is it possible to practice magic and not go too far?
